About 68a
68a is a one-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD19 4LD). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in January 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 65.9% above the 2007 sale of £164,000. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
